How do you play Minesweeper? • page 1/2 • Off-Topic Discussion • lichess.org

I want to be pro at this game though I dont know how to play

The goal is to put a flag on all mines (right click).
The numbers show you how many mines are 1 square next to the square (diagonal aswell).
When you know one square is no mine then left click it.

Nice game of mines and numbers, Its a game of luck
patience skill and perseverance, I think I'm a good average player I'm not a geek that means I can play and win it most of the time, you can select the initial settings such as the size of the board, its a square or rectangle, the number of mines and then look carefully at the red, green, blue numbers that help you carefully to find the mines and put
a flag so that's about it if I remember correctly.
It is a timed game but no chronometre it's about making new personal records and you have to look into adyacent squares, use common sense you don't need any mathematical equation, look at the corners if you see a blue one there is a mine, but try not to guess only in the
first moves of the game.

Good inference, thinking, and memorizing positions can help with becoming a professional minesweeper player.

I dislike the luck part. Very annoying since you could have a lot of 50/50s which means you could be a mad genius, and still lose without any actual skill involved.

it is very easy just click on a random square then it will show you how many mines are near this square and then you put a flag on the mine and continue

There’s actually not much luck involved if you know how to play by the basic thingys.

Film your games lol then if you get it wrong, watch the videos you filmed so that when you restart you can learn which square never to click on. Remember, don't click "New Game".

Logic with process of elimination being a big part of it. E.g. say you have a 1 2 1 revealed in the corner. If there were a mine above the 2 it would mean there would be two mines adjoining one of the 1s. So you know the two mines will be above the 1's and can click the square above the 2. If that is also a 2, then you can click the three squares above that as well.
